Abstract
“Undulation of a Rupture” emerges out of the enigmatic task of touching the past in the present via the landscapes of the American South. Driven by a profound yearning to trace, locate and connect with ancestral origins I took to the land to unearth impressions of these leavings. Expressed expansively through the multiple registers of: site, body and materiality these findings offer new articulations of being and relating. The land presents itself as a stage engendering the enmeshment of body, earth and ancestral memory. The body, punctuated through form, texture and movement, is wielded as a medium acting as a bridge between what is known and what is felt at the edges of visibility. The mercurial nature of Blackness arises as a complex nexus, intersecting as both a geographical site and tangible material made manifold photographically.Through these transpositions, I propose new hybrids of Black female subjectivity within a visual framework of abstraction. These renderings offer an ever-evolving exploration and inquiry on the trans-migrational body.
